Abstract

The present invention discloses ultrasonic phototherapeutic dental braces and a use method. The dental braces include: a transparent substrate, a phototherapeutic optical fiber, an ultrasonic transducer, an incoming line slot, a wire, and a plastic keel, where the phototherapeutic optical fiber, the ultrasonic transducer, the wire, and the plastic keel are all disposed inside the transparent substrate; the transparent substrate includes an arched end and a performed slot; the performed slot is used for fastening the transparent substrate on teeth of a person; the incoming line slot is disposed at the arched end of the transparent substrate; the incoming line slot is used for leading the wire and the phototherapeutic optical fiber into the transparent substrate; the phototherapeutic optical fiber is used for emitting therapy light to irradiate the therapy light into the oral cavity; the wire is connected to the ultrasonic transducer, the wire is externally connected to a power supply, and is used for supplying power for the ultrasonic transducer; the ultrasonic transducer is used for emitting ultrasonic waves; and the plastic keel is used for adjusting a shape of the transparent substrate. The present invention harmonically combines mechanically cleaning the oral cavity with ultrasonic waves with a photobiomodulation on the oral cavity, and can better protect the oral cavity environment of a user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
